A realtor reached out on Facebook about a rental property not yet on the market. After touring, we wanted to apply but the owner, also a real estate agent, denied our opportunity to apply, saying previous tenant extended the lease ( but the place is empty). I am suspecting FHA violation as we are minorities. Should I file a HUD complaint first or talk to the brokerage company first? I want to see proof of that lease extension. It's super weird. First time we have experience of discrimination.

Do it. Very few people make the pro bono effort but if you have the time, do it. Also if this is the owner, then it's a flag being this early on. Also, maybe you should use an agent to represent you as a tenant.

We have an agent, but this is an off market listing. Apparently, this is a reputable agent in the area, so we are gonna try to verify the lease extension by knocking on the door I guess after a few month...before filing a complaint...

New Jersey partnership question.

Partnerships need to use market sourcing for purposes of calculating NR withholding tax (though NJ doesn't even call this withholding anymore).

However, for purposes of calculating the NJ distributive share of income, you apply Gross Income Tax (personal income tax) rules, which is 3 factor and includes COP.

If I end up with 0% apportionment under GIT and 10% apportionment under CBT (withholding tax), the partnership pays tax upfront but NRs get 100% refund?
